Before making the trip up to northern Tibet, we strongly advise you to stay in Lhasa for at least a week to get used to the abrupt changes in altitude. At 1,100 meters (3,609 ft) higher than Lhasa, Nakchu may cause further uneasiness for those who are making their first visit to the highland. Headache tablets are of great help. Taking highland Hongjingtian (a kind of herbal medicine to ease extreme exhaustion) or ginsheng tablets beforehand may also be helpful. Water and fruits are always necessities to reduce the effects of mountain sickness .
